Has any birth certificate in the history of the world been discussed and debated more than Barack Obama's?

I don't think so.

Yet, nearly every time it is discussed or debated, the public becomes more confused, mystified, curious and certain they are being deliberately deceived.

The latest entry into this circus is Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle. You would think the governor of Hawaii would be an expert on the subject of Barack Obama's birth certificate by now. But her public comments suggest she is either abjectly ignorant or an active component of a disinformation campaign.

Lingle told a New York talk show Obama was born at Kapi'olani Hospital in Honolulu. But she offered no evidence to back it up and has also claimed she has never seen the document.

She claims her office issued a press release stating the birth hospital during the 2008 campaign. But no such release was ever published, and this is the first time any government official has claimed Kapi'olani as the birth hospital.

The birth certificate has been withheld from the public ostensibly by Hawaiian officials who claim releasing information about Obama's birth would be a violation of the state's laws. Yet, Lingle herself just apparently violated that law by releasing information she claims is in that secret document.

But perhaps most remarkable about Lingle's cavalier, dismissive public statement is the fact that even Kapi'olani Hospital has been unwilling to make the unequivocal assertion it is the birthplace of Barack Obama. WND has recounted in detail Kapi'olani's attempts to have its cake and it eat, too: Using Obama's name to raise funds for the facility, but refusing to confirm or deny that he was actually born there.

In other words, it's more mumbo jumbo from another Hawaii official.(continued)

Only thing I can think of is that it was designed to provoke interest precisely because she can’t back it up. It reminds me of a scene from The Big Sleep:

Philip Marlowe: You wanna tell me now?

Vivian: Tell you what?

Philip Marlowe: What it is you’re trying to find out. You know, it’s a funny thing. You’re trying to find out what your father hired me to find out, and I’m trying to find out why you want to find out.

Vivian: You could go on forever, couldn’t you?

It gets crazier every day.
I remember seeing, on the internet, a letter from Obambie to Kapiolani, recognizing it as his birthplace.
Suddenly, however, the letter was disavowed and claimed to be a forgery.
I never saw it again, and Kapiolani does not seem to be celebrating the event.
I have said that Obozo’s best out would be to claim a home birth, therefore, no REAL birth certificate as issued in a hospital and recorded by the state.
The mystery continues, and no one has yet to see a real birth certificate.
If one exist, what could be so incriminating? Name of father? date of birth? who knows?

(Now in the Philippines . Happy not to be back in the USA for now.)

Rush should hit this on Monday. Mark Levin, Steve Malzberg and Hannity should all hit this hard so that it gets coverage. We are on to something and it is going to come out sometime. As that CanadaFreePress article stated last week, I am starting to think that everybody knows the truth; they just won’t report it.

The entire Main Stream Media is giving Barack a pass on his birth records. If we could just get him to switch to the Republican party and put an (R) beside his name the media would have his original birth documents within 10 minutes of that switch!!

That's probably what it is, but it wouldn't be an "out," instead, it would be an opening for far more trouble..

To get there you need to start with the Hawaiian law at the time. It provided that an individual could either get a "Certificate of Live Birth" (the formal term the State of Hawaii actually applies, and applied, to the long form original birth certificate issued for each birth and which I hereafter refer to as the "Certificate") either by having the hospital prepare it or by having one of the child's parents prepare it and send it in, if the child was not born in a hospital. If a single parent prepared and sent in a Certificate, that parent would not have to obtain any certification or other corroborating evidence that the child actually was born in Hawaii; the State would just take the parent's word. Naturally a grandparent, like Madelyn Dunham, could easily forge a single parent Certificate, send it in, and have it duly filed as her grand son's "Certificate of Live Birth.".

A single parent Certificate having been forged and duly filed, everything else would fall into place without need for any additional frauds. Obama's single parent Certificate would be his real Certificate and the original, primary record of his birth. Thus, by the computer geek's GEIGO principle, all of the secondary records, such as the newspaper birth announcements and Obama's "Certification of Live Birth" would flow automatically and, apparently, accurately, being based on the fraudulent Certificate.

The original Certificate, however, would open a huge can of worms for Obama, since he, his shills, accomplices, and enablers have always claimed he was born either at Queens Hospital or Kapiolani Hospital, never that he was born outside of a hospital. His single parent Certificate being revealed, the questions would be why it wasn't revealed in the first place, whether Stanley Ann Dunham or Madelyn Dunham actually signed it, and where he was actually born.

My hypothesis is he was born in Kenya, Madelyn Dunham forged a single parent Certificate for him, and that fraudulent Certificate has ever since been used to generate accurate, but fake, secondary documents to "prove" he's a natural born American. So far nobody, not even a FR Troll, has persuasively refuted this hypothesis. I invite any FR Troll, and Obama shill, who reads this post, to try.

The law requires a BC to be filed even for a home birth. It's the same form as a hospital would use. But instead of a hospital name, there would be the address or other description of the location. Instead of a doctor's signature, there would be the name and signature of a witness to the birth, say the grandmother. There would be nothing in the fields for the hospital registrar to sign, nor the date it was filed with that registrar. It's filing would generate the same sort of birth announcement as a hospital birht (notice that the announcement doesn't say *where* the birth occurred, just the date, parents' names, mother's address and "son" or "daughter". The CoLB would be based on that, possibly fraudulently filed, "home birth" long form. A home birth filing would explain the 8 August filed with date, but not the out of order file number on the CoLB.

The constant left wing harping about "birther kooks" wanting a real birth certificate is a deliberate ploy to dumb down the meaning of NBC to birth place only.

Actually the COLB proves the Resident is NOT a Natural Born Citizen. The newspaper birth announcements, and his own book, are secondary verification of Non-NBC status.
